One of the most laughable aspects of our immigration policy is just that. It works like this:Originally Posted by Redleg
1. Immigrant arrives in our country.
2. Immigrant applies for asylum.
3. Immigrant gets shipped off to an "asylmottak"(not sure how to translate, sort of a transit-station).
4. Asylum application gets "worked on" for a few years.
5. Immigrant either accepted or rejected.
While he's spending those years in the "transit-station", he's not allowed to work or make money in any way. He gets a small amount from the government, but that's it. Since humans generally want to improve their situation, that leads to said immigrant working somewhere illegally. Since employers who hire such people illegally generally are crooks in other areas too, that leaves the door open for a glorious life of crime...
Instead of doing the sensible thing, which would be to put them on a fast-track education course and get them educated and working ASAP.
For example, we lack some 4000 trailer drivers alone(in addition to other fields in the transportation sector). A lot of immigrants worked as drivers in their home countries. The obvious solution would then be to teach them norwegian and how to drive in norway, and put them to work wuickly. Should be possible within 6-12 months.
But oh noes, can't do that, that would be sensible to our economy and also ruin our pure Aryan genes... Damn right-wingers.
